Telnet "connection closed by foreign host"

I'm getting this if I leave the WiPy at the REPL for any length of time. The WiPy is in the same room as the AP, 2-3 metres away. There are two other Linux systems using the AP, but both were idle while I was testing. Is there a timeout on the REPL standing idle?

Is it after 5 minutes? That's what I'm seeing.

Hi Peter,

Yes there's a 5 minute timeout by default (to prevent half closed sockets). You can increase this timeout easily:

Code: Select all

import network
network.server_timeout(time_out_in_seconds) # min is 5 seconds, affects both telnet and FTP

The same function can also be used to get the current timeout...

Cheers,
Daniel

Looks like network.server_timeout() disappeared with todays update.
Instead there is something like network.server.timeout(), but giving a number as argument just results in an error. Any update on the API doc?

Regards

Docs will be generated later today, along with the official release. Do

Code: Select all

from network import server
server = server(timeout=value_in_seconds)
